Scale model of the La Mamma Chair by Gaetano Pesce, designed in 1969. Compressed and vacuum packed in PVC wrappers La Mamma, as part of the 'Up Series' literally bounced to life when unwrapped. Described by the designer as 'transformation' furniture, these iconic designs turned the act of purchasing a chair into a 'happening'.
As part of the Vitra Design Museum collection these miniature editions of classic chairs all form part of modern furniture design history.
The contruction, materials and colours correspond to the historical Vitra Design Museum collection originals, right down to the last detail. Because they are so true to the originals, the miniatures are not only valuable collector's items, but also ideal illustrative materials for universities, design colleges and architects.
